How To Handle Six Disrespectful Students In One Class. A reader emailed SCM last week wondering how to handle six students who were wreaking havoc in his classroom.
Every day they were disruptive. They were talkative and silly. They called out during lessons and made inappropriate comments. They played off one another and held little regard for his expectations. Most distressing, when he’d confront them or attempt to hold them accountable, they would become disrespectful. They would argue and complain. The teacher was at the end of his rope and desperate for answers. One or two disrespectful students are hard enough. Well, you don’t. You see, one of the most common mistakes teachers make is trying to handle difficult students as distinct entities, separate from the class as a whole. Day after day, this teacher was pulling them aside for one-on-one talking-tos. He set up behavior contracts, offered rewards in exchange for good behavior, and had consequences designed just for them. They cause resentment and antagonism. Then defend it to the hilt. Workshops.

How do you teach them? How do they learn best? How much can I teach at one time? What do you do when they seem so lazy that they won’t work for any amount of time? After I knew that middle school was truly where I belonged, I realized that I still had a lot to learn. I did what I could throughout my first couple of years, but I knew that I was doing what many teachers fall into the habit of doing. The good news is that brain research is becoming so established that it is now full of information to help middle school teachers learn about the adolescents they call students. According to Brownlee, Hotinski, Pailthorp, Ragan, and Wong (1999), the authors of “Inside the Teen Brain,” the adolescent brain is still creating “the connections between neurons that affect not only emotional skills but also physical and mental abilities.” Adolescents are very capable of learning and behaving, as long as we keep our expectations clear and enforce them consistently.
